Yesterday the rest of the grade went to a waterpark while Sophie and I biked around and began to care less about our sanity. At some point I realized I had seriously played hooky to spend all my money on books and pick up my new glasses. I would care but anyone that ditches to buy books and get grandma glasses is obviously 2 kool 2 kare.

Another reason not to care is that I got great books and I love my new glasses! One of the books I got:FIND IT. Here are some of my favorite pictures from it (the book doesn't contain much text, though there are a few interesting quotes and an intro I have not yet read) and I think I really ought to find a scanner right about NOW...

Hippie commune, like colorful Pugh.

He was just really connecting with the turkey.

I love this picture so much.

ARE YOU FEELIN IT, MAN??

Jean Schrimpton and Trivial Man.

Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra at a black & white party.

Not surprised at the contents of Andy Warhol's shopping cart.

Ugh, so pretty.

Did I tell you guys that Spencer gave me (along with other awesome gifts) the same Tipi Hedren/The Birds Barbie that Laura and Kate have for my Bat Mitzvah? It's the coolest thing EVER.

Brigitte Bardot, sooo similar to the Dior commercial that uses the recording of her singing Moi je Joue. Awesome.

Men were so well-dressed!

There are no words.

One of my favorite pictures ever.

I looked at the new Vogue UK too, and almost bought it for this one really awesome feature where they asked designers, photographers, etc. to talk about one photograph that really inspires them. It was so neat. If anyone has seen it online, feel free to pass it on. BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE FEELIN' FREE, MAN.

And! New glasses! They make everything I wear look much more hipster and/or granny but hhhwatevs, they feel way more like me than the old ones, which were too reminiscent of my 5th grade phase in which I was obsessed with monkeys, cheese, and naming inanimate objects...The minidress and Yokoo hairbow will be up on CWAC like...soon? So much catching up to do, blerg T_T anyway I just tried to match up accesories that were the same colors as the hairbow. I might buy it myself because it's perfectly fluffy.

Ok,we have an HOUR of school tomorrow. THEN I'LL BE FREE, MAN.

i also have that Tipi Hedren barbie-- much Klassier [w/ a capital K, natch] than the usual hooker varieties... and i love and adore those pictures (especially the last one because naked people exude awkward and awkward is super....)! i think i might track down that book to see what other gems it offers!

HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME? and why on earth do you get out 2 weeks earlier than me. 'tis not fair. that book looks amazing, i'll have to check it out, the 60's were probably one of the best decades ever-indigo

in this (http://bit.ly/1uPqG9) I was kind of a little bit trying to express how I have a semi-secret desire to live in the 60's but I kind of failed photoshop-wise. I leerrrve the 21st century, but, mann, I think I'm a hippie at heart.

I have an hour of school tomorrow, too! Then we shall begin planning trips to Mich/Val's and will both stop being SO BUSY and/or LAZY and finally hangout! Gawwwd.

How come people in the 60's look so much more....classy then people do now? I've always wondered, hrm. Your sense of style is AMAZING, your hairbow is beautiful. So jealous, you only have one hour? I have to drag through the whole day, gah! heh.

As you say , the 60's wouldn't have been the 60's with the Internet. I do often wonder what the 60's would have been like with the Internet though. One thing that really would have been different is fewer culturally defining moments; e.g the Beatles on Ed Sullivan would have still been a landmark, but by then everyone would have seen their European performances online, etc.

The picture of Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra is from Truman Capote's Black and White ball. The pictures from it are awesome! You'd love 'em! One of the designers wore a tuxedo with this amazing unicorn gold head-dress.

i just want to say that u r my idol. u r my fashion idol. i love ur aditude towards life. i get made fun of every day at my school for wat i wear. and i absolutely love how u dont give a crap and u r open and free with ur on unique and awesome style. keep the posts coming as well as the pics. thanks so much for being who u r!

May I ask where you got your glasses? And if they are prescription? They look great, and I have every intention of illegally plagiarizing. Tiny, blind people of the world unite! Enjoy your blog as well (you know, as a requisite to not looking completely self-serving; but fo-realz. one of those 'long time readers, first time commenters' deal-ios... immensely enjoy le blog)
